WRAPPING OR TOILET PAPER FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,045, dated April 15, 1884.

Application filed February 6, 1884.

T0 (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, SETH WHE LER, of Albany, in the State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toilet and W'rapping Paper Fixtures; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention consists in a new arrangement of the parts composing the fixture. The handle is inserted directly within the periphery of the roller, and there held locked until it is necessary to add another roll of paper.

In the drawings, Figure l is a front view of a fixture constructed according to my invention, showing the handle partially disconnected in broken lines. Fig. 2 is a top view thereof, taken in the line a: as, Fig. 1.

a is the handle, composed of wire capable of being sprunginto and out of the periphery b of the roller. The handle in Fig. 1 is bent outwardly a short distance from its two ends at right angles, as seen at c c, sufiiciently to enable it to pass into the vertical slots d d in the periphery of the roller and firmly lock (N0 model.)

itself into the horizontal slots 6 e. The handle is released therefrom by pressing together the sides of the handle. thereby withdrawing the bent ends 0 c from the horizontal slots 6 e, and thus release the handle from the roller for the insertion of another roll of paper. The vertical slots d (1 may beextended down through the roller, thus doing away with the necessity of the horizontal slots 6 e. The endso c of the handle a will in that case grasp the bottom of theroller. With the roll of paper on the roller the equivalent of the slots e e is ob tained.

I claim- In a toilet-paper fixture, the spring-handle having its ends bent to form hooks, in combination with the roller having vertical slots through its periphery to permit the passage of the hook ends of the handle, and the engagement of such ends with the roller, substantially as described.

SETH WHEELER.
